Le Cow Quote Du Jour # 93

[Guest guest]

TRANSLATION

O bull, you are offenseless and thoroughly honest; therefore I wish all good

to you. Please tell me of the perpetrator of these mutilations, which

blackmail the reputation of the sons of Prtha.

 

PURPORT

The reputation of the reign of Maharaja Ramacandra and that of the kings who

followed in the footsteps of Maharaja Ramacandra, like the Pandavas and

their descendants, are never to be forgotten because in their kingdom

offenseless and honest living beings were never in trouble. The bull and the

cow are the symbols of the most offenseless living beings because even the

stool and urine of these animals are utilized to benefit human society. The

descendants of the sons of Prtha, like Maharaja Pariksit, were afraid of

losing their reputations, but in the modern days the leaders are not even

afraid of killing such offenseless animals. Herein lies the difference

between the reign of those pious kings and the modern states ruled by

irresponsible executive heads without knowledge of the codes of God.
